It's coming along but I still haven't figured out what to do with that little thin string. I'm a virgin 6er.

It is an awesome piece of equipment for sure. The low B string is the tightest that I have ever seen. You were right, I've seen looser low B strings on more expensive and longer scaled 5 strings. As far as the sound, I don't see how you could get any better with production axe. The bridge pickup adds a lot of low end growl in the flat position.

Pacman is helping me out some with it.

Still considering stringing it down to F# but haven't decided for sure.

What model is that Yammer PA speaker you are using. I think you said it was an 18" driver.

Here's some semi-handy info I've been meanin' to post
somewhere. Although it's probably been posted elsewhere.

Standard chromatic intervals, A-A#-B-C-C#, etc., are based
on the twelfth root of two (~1.059463).
You can figure out the freq of low F# (and therefore,
required cab specs). I think low F# comes in around 23 Hz.

Anyhoo, let's start with good ol' A. The one we want is 55.0 Hz .
If you subtract that 1.059463 number from 55.0, you'll have the
frequency of G#, and so on.
Make yourself a little chart to keep track of things.
You can get more accurate than 6 places for that constant factor.
If your calculator has a "yx" key (exponent), you can do it.
Here's a couple methods...
